Soul Harvest, Chapter 11

Soul Harvest, Chapter 11


Rayford was learning joy in the midst of sorrow. His heart told him Amanda was alive. His mind told him she was dead. As for her betrayal of him, of the Tribulation Force, and ultimately of God himself, neither Rayford’s head nor heart accepted that.


Yet with his conflicting emotions and turmoil of spirit, Rayford was as grateful for Mac’s conversion as he had been for his own, for Chloe’s, and for Bucks’. And the timing of God’s choosing to put His mark on His own! Rayford would be eager to get Tsion Ben input on that.


It was late Wednesday evening in New Babylon. Rayford and Mac had been working side-by-side all day. Rayford had told him the whole story of the Tribulation Force and each of their accounts of their own conversions. Mac seemed especially intrigued that God had provided them a pastor/teacher/mentor from the beginning in Bruce Barnes. And then, following Bruce’s death, God sent a new spiritual leader with even more biblical expertise.


“God has proven personal to us, Mac,” Rayford said. “He doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we think he will, but we’ve learned he knows best. And we have to be careful not to think that everything we feel deeply is necessarily true.


“I don’t follow,” Mac said.


“For instance, I can’t shake the feeling that Amanda is still alive. But I can’t swear that is from God.” Rayford hesitated, suddenly overcome. “I want to be sure that if it turns out I’m wrong, I don’t hold it against God.”

Rayford heard Carpathia’s people setting up for his broadcast. “Is there any way anyone will be able to tell we are airborne?” Carpathia asked.


“None,” he was assured. Rayford wasn’t so sure, but certainly, unless Carpathia made some colossal error, no one would have a clue precisely where in the air he was.


At the sound of the knock on the cockpit door, Rayford shut off the hidden button and turned expectantly. It was a Carpathia aide. “Do whatever you have to do to shut down all interference and patch us back through to Dallas. We go live on satellite about three minutes, and the potentate should be able to be heard everywhere in the world.”

Buck was on the phone with Loretta when Verna Zee slipped behind the wheel. She slung her oversized bag onto the seat behind her, then had trouble fastening her seatbelt, she was shaking so. Buck shut off the phone. “Verna, are you all right? I just talked with a woman from our church who has a room and private bath for you.”


A mini traffic jam dissipated as Verna and Buck’s coworkers wended their wis itr, then had trouble fastening your seatbelt, she was shaking so. Buck shut off the phone. “Verna, are you all right? I just talked with a woman from our church whoay out of the small parking lot. Headlights provided the only illumination in the area.


“Cameron, why are you doing this for me?”


“Why not? You lent me your phone.”


“But I’ve been so awful to you.”


“And I’ve responded in kind. I’m sorry, Verna. This is the last time in the world we should care so much about getting our own way.”
